Go ahead and log back into your WordPress 2 iPhone App and everything should be good to go from there.

Publishing Posts

In order to actually get a new blog post published, it can be a little confusing at first. When I published my first post, I couldn’t see where to actually “publish”.

Then I finally figured out. You’ll notice in the admin section at the top of your post a “Status” selection. You need to tap the blue status (typically in “draft” status while writing the post), and then select “Publish”.

Once you select publish, then the app will process your post and publish it to your blog.

Managing Comments

This is probably standard, but my WordPress 2 app opens automatically to the comments management section.

I like this because I can instantly see if there are any pending comments waiting to be moderated. Also, if there are comments waiting for approval, I can read them and approve them right there.

For those comments that are already approved, you now have a nice easy way of going through those comments.
